Raw peanuts are a type of nut grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They are often used in cooking, baking, and snack foods. Raw peanuts are typically small and round, with a hard, light-brown outer shell and a soft, creamy-white inner kernel. Raw peanuts have a sweet, nutty flavor and are high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, niacin, folate, and phosphorus.
